We published a couple of weeks ago the fact of the discovery of rich mining prospects near Fort Grant. We gather the following additional particulars from the Tombstone Epitaph: All of the lodges are reported to be large and we'll defined and to average rich in gold and silver. At present there are but nine men on the grounds. The new camp has al ready been christened the Clark Mining District. Among the most prominent of the mines in the new camp are the following: "The President" which is a fine ledge. four feet in width, gives an average assay of fifty-four dollars per ton; shaft thirty feet deep has been sunk, and ore is good right along. The second mine be- longing to the President company, is called the "Logan." On this they have sunk a shaft ten feet in good ore, which averages forty-five dollars per ton. The ledge is three feet wide. The Ohio mine shows an assay of S1OS per ton, $9O in silver and SIS in gold. There are a number of other mines that have been located, but not yet assayed. Last but not least of the mines, is the" Thomas" which is considered the boss of the camp. This mine is very rich in free gold, and aver ages from three to thirty feet in width. It is so rich that they know it is good, and have not at tempted to get an assay of it There is plenty of water and tim Der in the immediate vicinity, and every indication points to the To- cation of a fourishing camp in the Clark district in the near future.

THE CARE OF HOGS.

Health and Growth OfPIgs Dependent Upon
the Prevention of Indigestion.
There is no animal on the farm more
likely to be neglected than the hog. and
vet in many sections of the West he is
one of the many sources of income. On
this account it is important that he
should have better care, which would,
in many cases, prevent the heavy losses
that occur from disease. Swine

the hog is, by nature. an eater of green
food, and Deepen lent in a great measure
on grazing.
The villager knows how eager the pigs
shut up in the pen during the whole
year are for the grass and weeds from
the garden near ut hand; and partly
because he wants to get rid of his weeds,
and partly because he thinks the pigs
will like a little green stuff, he throws
the refuse to them. He does not reflect
that green food is the natural susten-
ance of the hog, as it is of the COW,
while by feeding on corn alone. he is
keeping the pigs under an artificial
state.
The question is, how best to supply
the hog with food that will most nearly
answer in the place Of pasture grass.
for the natural instinct for green and
soft food should be gratiied through
whatever material may be at hand.

THE GARFIELD FAMILY.


A Glimpse at the Handsome Home ~
Mentor and Its Occupants.
In five years there have been many
notable changes in tho Garfield family.
There have been no deaths, but the
children of whom the father was so
fond have grown up. The two older
boys have begun course in the CO..
lunibia College Law School, and Harry,
the elder. has been teaching in some
Eastern school Both are graduates of
Williams College. James r. Garfield
has been studying law with Judge
Boynton in Cleveland. and is looked
upon by friends of his father as the
son most like him in every way.
He has his fathers size, complexion.
eyes and manner. Both sons are now
men, and have. it is said, great am
bition. Miss Mollie, the only daughter.
is now a young woman taller than her
mother, and has about finished her
studies. The two younger sons.
Abram and Irwin-the latter named
for General Irwin McDowell-are old
enough to enter a school on the Hud-
son, and left home for their duties
there recently. They had never been
away from home alone before.
Since the preliminary education Of
Abram and Irwin IN the Cleveland
public schools the mother has had no
further desire to live in city. She
has ordered her mansion in Cleveland
sold and has decided to make her
future home in Mentor. She has here

which cost CSC, 900. It is the most inn
posing home IN the country, although
the new part is behind and wholly sub

President lived. This still remains the
head and front of the Garfield home,
although remodeled to conform with
the addition. A $4,000 addition to a
5000 house 10 curiosity in modern
architecture, but sentiment for the
past and its illustrious dead inspired
it. There are probably sixty rooms in
both new and old houses. They n
all furnished in modern style and with
considerable elegance. and there is an
air of .aristocracy about the interior
which Garfield did not know in his own
home. Although the house is far in
the country it has all the conveniences
of city home-in plumbing. gas-fit'
ting and steam-heating.
